🌿 SMILE & FLOW

Smile & Flow is a gentle, non-invasive lymphatic treatment designed to support the body before and after dental procedures. It helps reduce swelling, ease jaw tension, calm inflammation, and support faster, more comfortable healing.

Dental treatments naturally create inflammation in the face, jaw, and surrounding tissues. The lymphatic system is responsible for clearing this inflammation, but it can become overwhelmed — especially around the head and neck. Lymphatic support helps the body: drain excess fluid, reduce swelling and puffiness, ease jaw and facial tension, and heal more efficiently.

No. Lymphatic treatments continue working for 24–48 hours after each session. For best results, sessions are intentionally spaced, not done daily. Typical pre-op timing: 3 sessions over 5–7 days before treatment, with the final session 24–48 hours pre-procedure.

Post-op sessions typically begin 3–7 days after your dental procedure, once cleared by your dentist. These sessions focus on reducing swelling, calming inflammation, and restoring balance to the face and jaw.

Yes. Smile & Flow is gentle, non-invasive, and dentist-approved. All techniques are adapted based on your stage of healing, comfort level, and individual needs.

Smile & Flow (30 minutes): Ballancer® Pro Jacket (upper-body lymphatic support), gentle facial lymphatic flow, ideal for mild–moderate swelling and early recovery.

Smile & Flow PLUS (45 minutes): Extended Ballancer® Pro Jacket session, red light therapy for cellular support, selective facial lymphatic cupping (as appropriate), ideal for deeper swelling, TMJ concerns, or enhanced sculpting. Your provider will help determine which option best supports your healing stage.

No. Facial lymphatic cupping is used selectively, based on tissue readiness and stage of healing. It is never applied aggressively or when not appropriate.

No — Smile & Flow is designed to support, not interfere with, dental care. Many clients report feeling more relaxed and comfortable during dental visits after lymphatic support.

Smile & Flow is ideal for patients undergoing: implants or extractions, veneers or cosmetic dental work, bite therapy or TMJ treatment, or any procedure involving facial or jaw inflammation.

Most clients feel lighter, calmer, and less swollen. Some experience continued drainage for up to 48 hours — this is normal and part of the healing process.

No consultation is required. Smile & Flow is designed to be easy, accessible, and supportive. If you have specific concerns, you're always welcome to reach out before booking.

Single sessions are helpful, but patients undergoing dental procedures often see the best results with a 6-session series: 3 sessions before treatment and 3 sessions after treatment.
